A member asked:

Having high testosterone levels prevent ovulation and or pregnancy? if so... what test should i have done to check my levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High testosterone: I suggest having blood test for total, free testosterone and shbh (sex hormone binding globulin). If elevated treatment will depend upon the source of the testosterone production ie. Ovary or adrenal.
